Hi stoners!

Here my first experiment on growing my own food. My setup is inspired from pcgrowcase but was a diy version.. home made with available materials. the main reason for a pc case was for a stealth grow.
I had some seed I gathered from various smokes. but they came from outdoor natural trees, which is one of the reason it took much longer to grow..as outdoor natural one took 5-6 month to give a proper smoking bud. These ladies are 3 month old, I did 24/0 for veg, and switch to 12/12 two weeks back. but after reading various thread on this forum I realized my ladies are late on their stages..I post some pics, hoping feedback from you expert ..hope I'm on the good way .

My setup - 3 20watt 2700k bulbs, one intake two exhaust.


LST training


confirmed female? is this the beginning of flowering stage ?

it takes time for plant to transition from veggie to flower. take those 3 20 watt bulbs out. get two 23 watt bulbs and one 42 watt bulb. you will get better results and the heat isnt bad at all the 42 watt bulb with give it more blue and the 23 watt bulbs will give it more red on the spectrum. this way the produce a better yeild than what you would get now. good job looks good though

Thanks a lot heathaa, this will help me a lot. What kelvin the 42 watt has to be as you mentioned "blue". This will be of course more than 250 watts ! thus leaving the the 250watt club. I'm actually feeding them with npk 15-15-15.

Fcuk they look good for sativas growing under a couple of weak fluros, bit of old tin foil on the wall. You obviously know how to grow so why arnt you using hid lighting and indicas.Take the step up and try that next time and you will get a decent harvest.

*BUDS, thanks for your input !! it's my first time grow after reading hundred of posts on several forums, these plants are very good to smoke and now I'm learning the growing process which is a life experience to me. I'll try to build something better for the next grow.. maybe closet and a sophisticated setup. thanks for looking.

Guys ,

from my last watering and nutrients feeding.. I think I've gone to hard on the nutes, 1 tablespoon of nutes npk 15-15-15 in 500ml of water.. I've over watered the pot. and one day after one of the plants leaves start to become dry, turn yellow and no longer pick up towards the light.. :o Is this the end..
I know I've been stupid after 3 months of growing to do overwatering and hard nutes..Can I keep hope for a reestablishment ? This morning I've added some soil and compost to fill the pots, and water a little with a sprayer... hope it's work .. :wall:
